Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-About week
ago the GLOBE correspondent received
a copy of little book named ''See Saw"
together with a note from the author re-
queSting favorable press mention, but
particularly asking that the name of the
author be withheld. After having with
held the matter for week, it turns out
that the little book is an Internal ma
chine. loaded to the muZZle. The au-
thor is Miss Cynthia Cleveland, we'll
known in Dakota as a foe of eX-GOy.
Ordway. a fighter and able temperance
lecturer. Miss Cleveland is a clerk in
the sixth auditors office of the treasury
department. Her book, which seemed
harmless and neither better nor worse
than hundreds of similar works, proves
to be autObiographical. In it several
persons of prominence are mentioned
and the villain of the story is handled
without gloves. Miss Cleveland calls
herself Margaret Wayland and the
villain is named Ralph Winston. The
latter, after a long engagement of mar
riage, Tilted his tiancee, married another
woman and went away from the cOun-
try. He proves to be Gov. Swineford,
of Alaska. Exact transcripts from
him and Miss Cleveland are given in the
book. President Cleveland, the cousin
of the authOresS, is made part of the
play, but no reflections are made upon
him. Her publishers in Detroit have to-
day wired Miss Cleveland that the pub
licatiOn has ceased, and that all out
standing copies are being called in.
The fear of prosecution for libel induced
them to do this. The probabilities are
that 10 proof could be maintained. The
friends of Miss Cleveland believe that
her little book has created such furore
as to make her fortune. She said to-
day: AFTER all / had suffered at the
hands of that man, l still loved him."
One of the letters published in the book
tells him she is broken-hearted. 1t is
exceedingly pathetic. On the occasion
of the contest over his confirmation as
governor of Alaska, charges were pend
ing affecting his honesty in the handling
of certain funds, and Miss Cleveland
worked successfully to avoid trouble
and secure his confirmation. 1t was
after that that he Tilted her, and the
blow came when she was preparing her
wedding dress, etc. The whole story is
told in the book, and is causing great
sensation mere as well as III Detroit ana
other Western points, where all parties
are personally known. Miss Cleveland
lectured in the Black Hills, and claims
to have made Dakota too hot for Ord
way.
FURTHER DETAILS.
New YORK, Oct. 26.-The Worlds
Detroit special says: 1t is asce1tained
that the author of the book "See-Saw:
BY One of En- story of department
life in Washington, is Miss Cleveland, a
second cousin of the president, who has
a government position in Washin gton.
The characters of the book are but
thinly disguised. Michiganders under
assumed names. The villain of the
book is no less parsonage than Gov.
SwinefOrd. of Alaska, who (n the book
is represented to have jill ed the lady to
whom he was engaged and married an
other. The president is also introduced
into the book and the heroine is repre-
sented as stumping for him during the
last campaign, as Miss Cleveland gem
orally did. The heroine has all the
known virtues. and is in fact the author
ess herself. Miss Cleveland is well
known in Michigan.
